* Taxi is a metered srevice and so fare above is an approximation. The meter still ticks when it is stuck in traffic unless you managed to negotiate a flat fee for the journey.

* IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are at the airport and need to go somewhere, within the airport area, be aware that it could be very expensive despite the short distance.

(Also note that there is a [http://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/AirportInformation/Travel-between-terminals.aspx free airport transfer bus] around the Domestic/International terminals which runs 3-4 times an hour, so fine if you're willing to wait. Or it's a flat 15-ish minute walk which is okay if it's not raining.)

Customs advice for visiting New Zealand. Note that New Zealand has stronger restrictions on bringing in food and other products that may host agricultural pests than most countries.

Airport to venue transfers

Auckland airport has buses, shuttles and taxis available. Note that the Auckland domestic and international airports are about 1 km apart, so ensure you order a taxi to the correct location.

Uber has a fixed price $70 fare to or from Auckland Airport to an area which includes the University of Auckland (where the conference is held) and our accommodation.

http://taxi.co.nz is a facility run by Air NZ. It is a price comparison facility that includes airbus, taxi, shuttles and even helicopter. Note there's a slight surcharge for its use. In order to secure those prices, you need to book + pay for it via the website. I haven't used it before but I can see how it is useful.

Note that Symonds St runs along the ridgeline, so almost everything is downhill from Symonds St. Queen Street runs down the valley, so many things are uphill from Queen St (including Queen St itself as you go away from the water!)

There does not seem to be a AirBus route to the airport that runs along Symonds St, only along Queen St (see AirBus Stop Map), so at least from Carlaw Park getting a Shuttle to the airport may be much less effort.

Shuttles

Cost $33 per person, one way.

Shuttles are door to door.

You must book the shuttle from Auckland to Airport. Please do this at least a day in advance.

Some other shuttle services may not be at the airport and you may need to book them for pickup.

Not all shuttle services have the same fee. So ask before you hop on.

Group fee is usually based on pick up from same_address1 and drop off at the same_address2.

Some don't like shuttles because you may have other passengers in the shuttle to drop off along the way. Most cases they try to group all to the CBD. Obviously problem is not there if there's a few LCA ppl in the shuttle all going to the same accommodation as you.
